back-up a 360?
that's not that difficult, but shorter lines will make it easier/slower and the videographer will need to move to make it look best.

Hey Weider,
when you come out for NSAM can you stay a few days extra,...

maybe join us for Smithsonian too that next weekend?
(NSAM is 3/20/2010 and smithsonian is 3/27/2010)

Hi Paul,
I would love to stay for a few more days however, I fly out of Boston on WED for a week out at the Lincoln City, Oregon Indoor. I will miss the outdoor Smithsonian again.
But a REVERSE 360 I'll try.

For Chris,
A true SLIDE 360 would be difficult IMO, in no wind you really use the inertia of the leading edge, therefore is more of a glide, even indoor on very short lines a (dead square SLIDE 360 is tough, so just imagine the longer travel with longer lines, I think would be hard. maybe the Mutant, Steve DEROOY could make it happen, or the perpetual energy ball that is JB, LOL.



I took the videographer's head, on the second 360, as I was in a glide he just expected me fly over him on the second leg, dead up wind. I took the camera right out of his hand. I was winded some, you can see the kite comes right into the camera, I had to make a cut. (around the 130 ish mark)
This type of flying to me is new, making it happen in a new atmosphere, almost indoor flying on 100 ft. lines, very different, it seems I can fly lazy like I would in a 3 or 4 MPH with the 1.5.
I thought Florida winds ( very low but steady ) might be a good place for this kite and I was right. And the team thing will be a great test as I believe will be new ground.
It's funny because I will watch people around me start to pull there little kites and wonder why there not flying.
I have had some time to fly, Thankfully, but all the while eating crackers LOL. it's always a give and take.

RICH,
gifted me that version of "Fly Like an Eagle" I'm still practicing the axel though, Rich.
Thanks bro, we'll use that, I like it!

To all,
Thanks for watching and the comments.

Verry nice Scottie! I was looking for Harry to be watching from the camper but I guess he's asleep.

It comforts me to see that you had to wear long pants and shirt... At least it's not summertime warm!

Great flying Scottie! Like the color combo of your new Zen, one stripe of color and the balance in mono is outstanding.
